1. Kansas City Chiefs – Luke Joeckel – OT – Texas A&M – Scouting ReportI have no idea if the Chiefs prefer Joeckel or Fisher, but I’m sticking with Joeckel. Usually when an alternative pick starts to gain traction just prior to the draft, it stems those just looking for something different. But then again, this is going to be a crazy draft. Maybe it’ll start right at the top. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

2. Jacksonville Jaguars – Eric Fisher – OT – Central Michigan – Scouting ReportI’m pretty sure this will be Fisher or Joeckel, but the Jaguars had us all convinced they wanted Geno Smith at one point. And Dion Jordan. And a handful of others. They’ve been full of smoke screens, so many we all know nothing. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

3. Oakland Raiders – Sharrif Floyd – DT – Florida – Scouting ReportI’m feeling confident in this selection, even if the Raiders trade down. Floyd fits perfectly into their defensive line and he’s a solid value pick at any point in the top 10. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

4. Philadelphia Eagles – Lane Johnson – OT – Oklahoma – Scouting ReportThe Eagles will take an offensive tackle, it will just depend on who is available. I assume it’s going to be Johnson, but if Fisher somehow fell they may prefer him. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

5. Detroit Lions – Ezekiel Ansah – DE – BYU – Scouting ReportI really think the Lions want an offensive tackle, so a trade up is a possibility. But if they stay put the decision probably comes down to Ansah or Milliner. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

6. Cleveland Browns – Dee Milliner – CB – Alabama – Scouting ReportThe Browns want to trade down, but of all three tackles are gone already, the probably won’t have that option. If they use this pick, it will be either Ansah or Milliner – whoever Detroit passes on. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

7. Arizona Cardinals – Jonathan Cooper – OG – North Carolina – Scouting ReportSupposedly the Cardinals are leaning towards and offensive lineman, and I think Cooper is the best fit. Warmack makes sense also, and a trade up for Johnson is another possibility. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

8. Buffalo Bills – Ryan Nassib – QB – Syracuse – Scouting ReportI’m not certain the Bills will take Nassib at No. 8, but I feel fairly confident that they want Nassib. And if they want him, they’re going to have to take him in the first round somewhere. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

9. New York Jets – Barkevious Mingo – LB – LSU – Scouting ReportThis pick should be either Mingo or Jarvis Jones. Mingo seems like a better fit for Rex Ryan, so if he still has a say in the war room, Mingo is the guy. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

10. Tennessee Titans – Chance Warmack – OG – Alabama – Scouting ReportThis is one of my most confident picks. Mike Munchak wants to upgrade the line for Chris Johnson, and the addition of Andy Levitre wasn’t enough. D.J. Fluker may also be an option. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

11. San Diego Chargers – D. J. Fluker – OT – Alabama – Scouting ReportThe Chargers absolutely must come away with at least one immediate starter on the offensive line. If they pass on Fluker, they run the risk of not getting one. This is a reach in my opinion, but it’s a justifiable move for San Diego. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

12. Miami Dolphins – Star Lotulelei – DT – Utah – Scouting ReportI think the Dolphins are the team who lands the player that unexpectedly falls, and I’m betting on that being Lotulelei. It’s not a perfect fit, but he’s the best player on the board and they don’t have a glaring hole to fill with another prospect available. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

13. New York Jets – Tyler Eifert – TE – Notre Dame – Scouting ReportThis should be Eifert or Austin. I struggled with the pick, but ended up going with Eifert because I think he’s a safer pick. I also considered Geno Smith here. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

14. Carolina Panthers – Sheldon Richardson – DT – Missouri – Scouting ReportI’ve had this pick for a long time. Richardson is a perfect fit as a three-technique in Carolina’s defense. It will be tough to pass on him unless Lotulelei or Floyd fell. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

15. New Orleans Saints – Dion Jordan – DE/LB – Oregon – Scouting ReportJordan falls further than most are expecting. Due to the tackles coming off the board early, there isn’t another obvious landing spot for Jordan. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

16. St. Louis Rams – Tavon Austin – WR – West Virginia – Scouting ReportIf Austin is here, the Rams will absolutely select him. And they may even trade up to ensure a shot at him. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

I was tempted to give the Steelers Cordarrelle Patterson, but elected for Jones. He’s a solid fit in their 3-4 defense to help add some youth to the front seven. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

18. Dallas Cowboys – Sylvester Williams – DT – North Carolina – Scouting ReportSo many options for the Cowboys. Williams is a great fit in their new 4-3 defense. Kenny Vaccaro would also make a lot of sense. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

19. New York Giants – Desmond Trufant – CB – Washington – Scouting ReportThis isn’t an obvious need, but the Giants tend to select either defensive linemen or defensive backs in the first round – especially when there’s great value. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

20. Chicago Bears – Alec Ogletree – LB – Georgia – Scouting ReportThe Bears need to replace Brian Urlacher, and they need to do so with a coverage linebacker. Ogletree has character red flags, but the Bears should gamble on him. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

21. Cincinnati Bengals – Eric Reid – FS – LSU – Scouting ReportThis is a reach, but it fits the Bengals perfectly. They love SEC players and they usually draft for need in the first round. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

25. Minnesota Vikings – Justin Hunter – WR – Tennessee – Scouting ReportI’m not very confident in this pick, but Justin Hunter is going in the first round so I had to fit him in somewhere. He’s risky, but has tons of upside. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

26. Jacksonville Jaguars – Geno Smith – QB – West Virginia – Scouting ReportProjected trade – In 10 years, this is the first trade I’ve projected in my final mock draft. But I didn’t have a choice if I wanted to fit two quarterbacks into the first round. I’m not confident Jacksonville will be the team, but someone will move up for Smith. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

27. Houston Texans – Cordarrelle Patterson – WR – Tennessee – Scouting ReportAndre Johnson wants help at receiver and the Texans will give it to him. Patterson is the most likely option, but DeAndre Hopkins is also a possibility. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

28. Denver Broncos – Tank Carradine – DE – Florida State – Scouting ReportCarradine has just one year of legitimate production and he’s coming off an injury. Those are two major red flags that could cause him to fall further, but I think his upside sneaks him into the first round. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

29. New England Patriots – D.J. Hayden – CB – Houston – Scouting ReportTeams are scared by Hayden’s injury, but I think he slips in somewhere. Belichick loves to gamble on prospects, and Hayden’s athleticism would fit well in the Patriots secondary. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

30. Atlanta Falcons – Jamar Taylor – CB – Boise State – Scouting ReportJamar Taylor is probably the least likely first round pick of everyone I have in the top 32, but he seems like a perfect fit for the Falcons. They want a physical, fearless corner, and Taylor is just that. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]

31. San Francisco 49ers – Xavier Rhodes – CB – Florida State – Scouting ReportThe 49ers are tough to figure out because of all the trade rumors. If they stay put, I think they simply target the best available player. Rhodes could be that guy. [divider top=”0″ style=”solid”]
